‘Moana 2’

The songs lack that Lin-Manuel Miranda magic, but this more dutiful than inspired sequel has vibrant monsters and a flow of movement that keeps your eyeballs dancing.
Critics Pick
‘Wicked’

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande give iconic performances in the fabulous big-screen version of Broadway's what-makes-a-villain spin on 'The Wizard of Oz,' which feels more relevant than ever.
‘Gladiator II’

Paul Mescal is a pensive avenger in Ridley Scott's serviceable but far from great sequel. It's a solid piece of neoclassical popcorn but ultimately a mere shadow of 'Gladiator.'

Jodie Foster & Robert Downey Jr. — Actors on Actors (Full Conversation)

Perfection is rarely achieved in movies, but this heaven-sent concert doc hits the sweet spot. Over two days in January 1972, the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin — she was 29 at the time — sweeps into the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Watts in front of a congregation and testifies to God in song.
